Honestly, I'm not surprised. I always saw this as another way to get to your pocket, rather than giving players a chance to win some money.

Hopefully the huge QQ that will follow will make them change their minds...a bit...

Tbh, don't care. I don't plan on using that RMAH ever

i dont plan on playing d3 after all this bullshit with the rmah, its just going to be a bunch of babbys running around with their mom's credit cards stomping on people who dont have the time to bot whatever the equivalent of baal runs will be or dont have the money to get good stuff.

yeah thats another thing, i bet the black market is going to be the same as it was in d2 because if the people truly looking to make a profit off selling items are trying to max profits they arent going to use the rmah they are going to go right back to spamming the shit out of games, "10% off runewords smitadin sets at d2goldsales.com!!!!! !!! ! ACT NOW !! !! " bull shit

I don't think anyone actually thought it was going to be their salary, that said that article didn't even have any information on the fees themselves so I'll wait until values are put on them before making a decision to use it or not.

Well, it will change the direction and feature set of future games by having RMT system within the game & built for the game. Making a living off gaming is the realm of fantasy mostly. That's looking at the innovation in the totally wrong light.

People will pay large sums of cash for virtual items. They will pay even more for advantageous items. Outside of Asian F2Ps, we really haven't seen a company or franchise with the market muscle of Blizzard/Diablo put forth such a system.

There are F2P MMOs in which hundreds of players pay ~$100-500 for items, weekly. Now consider such games are relatively small population compared to the truly mass market Blizzard games hit.

The 1% that will spend a grand on Tryreal's Sword of Awesome +1 in Diablo 3 will be a much larger # of folks by numbers than the 1% of players who bought that $750 mount in Perfect World.

Don't like the RMAH? Play hardcore where you can't use it, not only that but your epeen will increase 10 fold because your like super hardcore and stuff.

That would be something to QQ about but look at the site in general, everything they post about blizzard or wow has some bullshit attitude attached to it, so you know, we should wait and see, and not go with a tabloidesque Pic with a informationless story.

You actually believe they're going to give you money? Of course *wink*

You are.........................Optimistic......

Look, they're not doing this for your beautiful eyes, they're doing this for....wait for it....money (bolded it for impact)!

And even if they make smaller cuts, those smaller cuts will most likely be the pre-cash out cuts, because that way they'll get the money anyways, comprende?

/end rambling
Seriously, just don't expect heaven. I doubt people will ever be able to do any decent kind of money out of this RMAH...too bad some people actually expected to make a living out of this, like if it was the future of gaming or whatever...

ohohoho stupid thread is speculatory. There are no actual fees listed yet so you've decided to jump on the bandwagon to bash something new before it's debut. Bravo sir! Way to QQ about something that you know nothing about in the general spirit of uninformed forum posters.

Anonymity has made forums absolutely atrocious. If there were some transparancy maybe all this rediculous crying and whining about new things would finally stop and we could actually discuss things on a discussion board with actual facts to base said discussion on instead of this crap.
